(ANSA) - BEIJING, MARCH 16 - China is asking the United States to "end the unjustified attacks" on TikTok.
This is what Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, on the hypothesis of a request by the American administration of President Joe Biden to the Chinese owners of TikTok, ByteDance, to sell their shares or face the ban on the popular video-sharing app in the United States.
"So far the United States has failed to produce evidence that TikTok threatens the national security of the United States," Wang Wenbin said in the daily briefing, urging Washington to "stop spreading false information and stop unreasonably suppressing the companies concerned".
TikTok meanwhile confirmed press reports that US officials had urged it to part ways with Chinese holding company ByteDance to avoid a nationwide ban.
